Research on One-to-Two Internal Resonance of Sling and Beam of Suspension Sling–Beam System

Abstract

An approach is presented to investigate the 1:2 internal resonance of the sling and beam of a suspension sling–beam system. The beam was taken as the geometrically linear Euler beam, and the sling was considered to be geometrically nonlinear. The dynamic equilibrium equation of the structures was derived using the modal superposition method, the D’Alembert principle and the Hamilton principle. The nonlinear dynamic equilibrium equations of free vibration and forced oscillation were solved by the multiple-scales method. We derived the first approximation solutions for the single-modal motion of the system. Numerical examples are provided to verify the correctness of formula derivation and obtain the amplitude–time response of free vibration, the primary resonance response, the amplitude–frequency response, and the amplitude–force response of forced oscillation. According to the analysis, it is evident that the combination system exhibits robust nonlinear coupling properties due to the presence of internal resonance, which are useful for engineering design.
